Perfect
for medium to heavy seasonal or light residential use, the 2000 allows
for both a longer composting cycle, and larger waste volumes. The increased
surface area in the evaporating chamber coupled with the larger heating
element also provides better evaporation on electric units.

When used seasonally by
up to 7-9 adults, compost will normally only need removing annually
each spring. In residential use compost will have to be extracted more
frequently.

The Centrex 2000 AC/DC features
a 370 watt thermostatically controlled heater in a sealed compartment
under the unit and the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan, with a 2"
vent stack to remove the evaporate and fresh odors. This may be used
when the unit is in AC operation.

For easy switching between
AC and DC mode, the Centrex 2000 AC/DC requires that 2 vent stacks be
installed to handle the separate venting functions. The 2" vent
is in use when the AC fan is in operation, and the 4" vent is venting
the unit passively when there is no power available. As an extra option,
we include a 12 Volt 1.4 Watt
fan with the Centrex 2000 AC/DC. You may want to install this fan
if the unit is to see maximum capacity use, and you should install the
12 Volt fan if you have to put any bends in the 4" vent stack,
as you will then lose the "chimney effect" advantage of a
vertical stack, and will need to provide air movement with the fan.

2000 series units are supplied
with a 1" drain hose which should be connected to the 1" drain
at the bottom of the unit. Click here
